Wang Shudi pushed the cart, and Chu Mingqiu followed behind the cart. After walking for some distance, Wang Shundi got on the cart and pedaled hard. When the cart started running, Chu Mingqiu ran quickly and jumped. He jumped on the tricycle lightly. The tricycle shook slightly. Wang Shudi tried his best to hold the faucet to keep the tricycle stable. Walking and resting along the way, Wang Shudi didn¡¯t understand at all why he had to buy so much grain, and he didn¡¯t hesitate to buy so many vegetables for nothing. Wang Shudi complained as he walked. "Young, Xiaoqiu, if we buy so much food, can we finish it?" "Uncle Shudi, don't worry, we can definitely finish it." Chu Mingqiu was sitting in the car, breathing heavily. He had just pushed a paragraph After a long distance, I got in the car and rested. After walking for more than ten miles, the two of them rested on the side of the road. Chu Mingqiu looked around and couldn't find a place selling drinks. Wang Shudi took out a kettle and handed it to him, but he didn't care. He leaned against the mouth of the pot and drank. Drink up. "Can you finish eating? How long will it take! The old man still has a special donation book, and he can also buy a lot of food." "You will know when the time comes," Chu Mingqiu smiled: "Uncle Shudi, do you believe that those five acres Can the land produce more than 200,000 kilograms of grain? " "Ball," Wang Shuidi said with a smile, "a few hundred thousand kilograms? Five hundred kilograms is considered good. This is just to coax those above who don't understand. "Uncle Shudi, have you ever farmed?" "Why haven't you farmed before? If it hadn't been for the disaster at home, you wouldn't have fled to the city. Fortunately, the master took our family in, otherwise we would all have starved to death. " Wang Shu talked about his escape from famine. He was already in his teens at that time. After arriving in Yanjing, he still couldn't survive, so his parents planned to sell his sister. They happened to meet the Chu government to buy a girl, but Yue Xiuxiu was killed. He fell in love with her, so his sister went to the Chu Mansion. Later, he got on a rickshaw and the Sixth Master hired him. Later, his family all went to the Chu Mansion. "Sixth Master showed mercy and didn't ask for the ransom money from my sister. He also gave me a dowry of fifty yuan." Wang Shudi said with tears of gratitude. The villagers who fled with them also sold their sons and daughters. Many girls in their village were sold to them. Went to the kiln. Chu Mingqiu felt that fifty yuan was not too little. As far as he knew, when servants in the mansion got married, the Sixth Master would give at least one hundred yuan. Wang Shudi told him a lot. At that time, there were little devils and the house was in trouble. After chatting for a while, they felt their strength returned, and the two of them started to rush back. Now it was easy to enter Yanjing. The magnificent Yanjing city wall after liberation had been demolished. The two of them did not avoid anyone, but walked along the avenue towards the city. Go home. From the direction they entered the city to Chujia Hutong, they had to pass through half of the western district of the city and the district committee and district government. Wang Shudi wanted to avoid it, but Chu Mingqiu told him to go straight and go through the gate of the district committee and district government. What surprised Chu Mingqiu was that there were many people on the road. These people were either waiting at the bus stop or riding bicycles in a hurry to go home. Chu Mingqiu quickly realized that most of these were workers from nearby factories. "Why do so many people work overtime?" Chu Mingqiu asked curiously. "You don't know, the Great Leap Forward is going on now, and every factory is working overtime." "Then why doesn't Sister Sui'er work overtime?" Chu Mingqiu was still a little puzzled. Sui'er basically got off work on time, and occasionally worked overtime at night. Minutes, and my mother, her commute to and from get off work is basically normal. "I don't know about this, but I guess it will happen sooner or later." Wang Shudi's tone was very sure. Chu Mingqiu thought about it and realized that he was right. It was almost at the gate of the district courtyard, and the speed of the tricycle suddenly accelerated. Chu Mingqiu felt a little nervous. He couldn't help laughing behind him. Wang Shudi rang the car bell twice, and then Chu Mingqiu noticed two figures appearing in front of him. They were walking along the road. The two looked back at them and stepped aside without saying a word. Wang Shudi prepared to speed up, but his legs felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't exert any strength at all. The tricycle was still moving forward slowly. One of them shouted: "Old comrade, are you going to buy these vegetables for a late-night snack?" "Uncle, you are taking a walk." Chu Mingqiu answered before Wang Shudi could. The man looked at Chu Mingqiu through the street lamp and looked at him slightly. After thinking for a while, he said, "You must be Comrade Kuanyuan's uncle." Chu Mingqiu was shocked. He quickly looked at the man carefully, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen him before. The man smiled and said, "I have seen him before." I have seen your photo. My surname is Liu. Are these dishes bought by your family? " Chu Mingqiu was even more surprised. The man named Liu could actually recognize him from the photo. This person was Secretary Liu. In fact, Secretary Liu was not Not only did he recognize Chu Mingqiu from the photos, but Chu Mingqiu came to the district committee several times when he was running the factory. He had met Chu Mingqiu before, but Chu Mingqiu didn't recognize him. "Yes, it's almost winter. Let's stock up on some food." Chu Mingqiu said casually.talk. Secretary Liu asked again: "Where did you go? You haven't gotten home so late." "Oh, we went to Daxing." Chu Mingqiu guessed the identity of the person in front of him while answering. Since this person is called Kuanyuan, Naturally, he should be a colleague of Jia Kuanyuan, at least the same level as him, or even higher than him. The identity of this person was already revealed. Chu Mingqiu showed a bright smile. Under the light, the smile looked a little weird. "Went to Daxing?" Secretary Liu was a little surprised: "Why did you go so far? Is there no food in the vegetable shop?" "Oh, the vegetable shop belongs to a vegetable shop. I guess there may be less food this winter, so I'll save some first." Chu Mingqiu's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them. The man next to Secretary Liu had a very serious look on his face, and his face was as dark as coal. "How could it be?" Secretary Liu said with a smile: "Our life will get better and better. There will be a bumper harvest of food everywhere this year" "Alas," Chu Mingqiu sighed: "Uncle Liu, you have never planted land, right? Although I have never farmed, I also know that the yield of more than 100,000 kilograms per acre is obviously fake. People down here are trying to fool the people above. " "Well, how do you know?" Secretary Liu still kept smiling. , but that smile is already a little stiff. "It's not common sense," Chu Mingqiu said: "Our teacher read to us, saying that the crops should be poured with dog broth and injected with glucose. This sounds good. The dog broth and glucose both support people, but the crops are not people. Besides, Can this method be promoted nationwide? To inject glucose into each crop, how much glucose is needed nationwide? To pour dog broth, how many dogs are needed nationwide? Let¡¯s just say Daxing. How much farmland is needed in the county? How many dogs are needed? Glucose, this is obviously not common sense. " "Is this what your teacher said?" Secretary Liu asked with a frown. Chu Mingqiu shook his head and said, "No, I came up with it myself. Uncle Liu, are you right? "Of course," Chu Mingqiu heard the thick Shaanxi accent as soon as the person next to him spoke, and Secretary Liu shouted with some dissatisfaction: "Old Sun." Sun Mantun sighed heavily, but Chu Mingqiu smiled: "Uncle. , now only a child like me dares to say this. If others say this, it means that it is right-leaning. In fact, whether it is true or false, you will know clearly when you go to the scene and see. Tens of thousands of kilograms per acre, you just follow their commune The prerequisite is that the rations left for the farmers should not be lower than last year. Haha, that would be great fun. " Chu Mingqiu patted Wang Shudi on the back and motioned for him to speed up. Speed, he has taken a huge risk and said everything that needs to be said and can be said. What to do next depends on these two leaders. Secretary Liu and Sun Mantun stood there, looking at the tricycle that was gradually going away. Sun Mantun sighed heavily and suddenly said: "What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom; what will happen if this continues!" "Comrade Sun Mantun, I must Remind you! You are a party member! Pay attention to your position!" Secretary Liu's face suddenly changed and he yelled. "It is precisely because I am a party member that I must report the real situation at the grassroots level to the central government." "You should take what a child says seriously! Old Sun, think about it carefully. The central government has proposed to speed up development and speed up the construction of socialism. Our socialism It is superior to capitalism. What¡¯s the advantage? We have more advanced productivity! Our development speed is faster!¡± This is launching satellites? In the war years, lying about military information was punishable by death! "" Satellites were launched on all fronts across the country, and the people's enthusiasm was extremely high. Didn't we fully mobilize the masses when we defeated Chiang Kai-shek's blockade? However, the people have the greatest creativity, and this Great Leap Forward is a great practice!¡± ¡°But¡± Sun Mantun can¡¯t understand at all, why some people just refuse to admit that even children know it, those who are cheating. Not only were people not punished, but they were encouraged. "People's Daily", "Liberation Daily", and "Wenhui Po" all published full-page reports on news that made him heart-broken just by looking at it. No one took it seriously and took it seriously. "I don't understand" "You don't need to understand! You just need to move in the direction guided by the party," Secretary Liu interrupted him immediately, his tone suddenly dropped and became stern: "Comrade Sun Mantun, let me remind you, Watch your words and deeds!" After saying that, Secretary Liu turned around and left, leaving Sun Mantun standing alone, his figure stretched long under the street lamp, looking so lonely.
